Curious why the mecanums would be geared slower then the placation. I would assumed you would be running on the mecanums most often and use the placation to push...
I'd expect that they're using their mecanums as "fine tuning" wheels for maneuvering in the scoring area and picking up tubes, in order to save on time having to back up and reposition. Their plactions will likely be used to traverse the open field to get to new tubes and get back to the safe zone.
